Our little Baby Ice Elemental Dragon hatched at the perfect time for winter!:)

►DOWNLOAD it from the SEREV3d Current download links board (Accessible for active paid members)

INFO:

The little articulated dragon is print in place, NO supports needed!
Versions provided: stl, multicolor 3mf, hollowed craft eye & full eye version, and keychain versions (size 80mm and size 65mm).

Every two weeks a new dragon will be arriving to the Serev3D dragon family, the next one will be the Unicorn Dragon!

ALSO, now we are going provide really awesome and unique dragon eggs matching each little dragon!
 
They look really pretty with gradient PLA or any dual silk PLA as well.

UPDATE: Some members mentioned that the egg was a bit too tight fit and had to use some force first to make the top fit on the bottom, so we decided to make some tiny adjustments, like this it will be a nice and easy fit!:) (the big and small versions are both updated)

The dragon egg for the baby ice elemental dragon is the first one, but we will add more eggs to the rest of the little dragons too:)


Look at these cuties, they look very happy together!:)

Painting & post processing Steps:

  • Materials:

    • Primer: White or light gray.

    • Sealant: Gloss varnish or clear coat.

    • Optional: Glitter paint or mica powder for shimmer.

    Steps:

    • Preparation:

      • Sand the 3D print lightly if needed to remove imperfections.

      • Apply a white or light gray primer. Let it dry fully.

    • Base Coat:

      • Airbrush or hand-paint the entire dragon in a solid, light blue color. This will act as the base layer.

    • Shading & Gradient:

      • Use an airbrush or sponge to blend darker blue shades toward the tips of spikes, horns, and tail.

      • Gradually fade the darker blue into the lighter blue for a natural icy gradient.

    • Highlighting:

      • Dry-brush white or pearl paint on raised areas (scales, horns, and spikes) to emphasize the texture.

      • Add subtle white highlights to the face and horns for a frosty effect.

    • Optional Frost Texture:

      • Add glitter paint or lightly dust the dragon with mica powder to mimic frost or ice crystals.

    • Sealing:

      • Apply a gloss varnish or clear coat to give the entire model a shiny, icy finish
